He’s a seasoned vet with the ability to tear it up. He should get some action as far as I’m concerned. Maybe not as fast and as young as James but a proven yardage gainer. If they use him things will happen, just wait and see…..

And he may have put on some more pounds of bulkness to his frame we just dont know, Harbough sees the guy everyday and knows whats up? So Have faith Niners Nation and lets just wait and hope too see If La Micheal James Is much improved and takes his rookie year more serious? At least for whats left of this season for him to show America that he is the real deal !!!

He was terrible fielding punts in the preseason so he won’t fit in there. I don’t think he’s adequate as a pass blocker so I just don’t believe he can play at this level unless he bulks up in the offseason. Hope I’m wrong.

He will be an impact player for years to come. Adjustments are key in the transition to a higher level. I can think of about twenty other teams who would love to have this guy playing on opening day. Williams was also dynamic. Two huge losses for SF.
A few years ago these two players one have been some of the top players on the team. This crowd is getting spoiled

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 06:04:15 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/49ers/?p=10466#comment-111449It’s very true that there really is no way to know until we see him play, and he had amazing success in college so I’m hoping for the best, but he really looked small and over-matched in the pre-season games.

And I have really liked Hunter from the beginning of last season and thought he was playing really well and really BIG this year, so I’m very disappointed abaout that.

We’ll see.

GO NINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:13:16 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/49ers/?p=10466#comment-111415No one would find out until the new guy(s)/rookies play in a real NFL game. I agree with earlier comments (above); seasoned NFL players play at a much faster speed than the college guys. Let’s see what happens, I don’t care who is in the backfield, ball security is my main concern from these players. Injuries at a crucial time in a season could really hurt the team. I this case, I hope not. GO NINERS!!

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:58:20 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/49ers/?p=10466#comment-111407Losing Hunter is a killer, and based on what we saw in preseason I don’t expect nearly the same production from the tiny James.

Being real fast in college is great, being real fast in the NFL is a pre-requisite to just being in the league.

Everybody in the NFL is fast; James will have to be MUCH more than that, and even if he’s able to use his quickness/elusiveness to be effective he won’t have the strength to break tackles and fight forward the way the speedy but also powerful Hunter could; there’s no way James or anyone is going to fully replace Hunter, who was quietly a real force on this year’s team. Brutal loss there.

Replacing Williams? Meh.

Again, he’s real fast but really little, so finding another little fast guy isn’t going to be that tough, and I’m actually looking forward to seeing Jenkins on the field. Plus they still have that old dude who used to be great, don’t they? No big loss there.

I think they’re really going to miss Hunter; Williams not so much.

GO NINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jewel (remember all the groaning and complaining after the draft?). How exciting to see both these young backs on the field (if they can hold on to the ball). What would the Raiders give to have extra backs now! Replacing Kyle Williams? I guess that’s for another day. One can only take so much excitement in a week.
